ANTIRRHINUMS
The last few years have seen very marked improvement in the antirrhinum, or snapdragons as they are often called. They may now be obtained in the most beautifully delicate shades of colour, and in height from one to three feet. They are easily grown from seed, which may either be sown in spring, midsummer or autumn. The midsummer sowing will probably flower in autumn or early winter, or in the early spring following. The autumnsown grow throughout the winter and flower in late spring or early summer, and the spring sown flower during the summer. Cuttings taken from selected varieties root freely if inserted in a sandy compost and are shaded until rooted.
